They seem to have a decent range there and was wondering if anyone here has bought a car off them?

Are there any dealers that you recommend, especially any on the East side of Melb?

Im looking for either a black or white 'line, sunroof would be good :D, standard or not. $15k to spend on the car... there is 1 or 2 at Power Road Car Sales that fit the bill...

Thanks

-Steve

PS I did a search and there wasnt anything recent.

man just go private sellers. the only thing i've heard from people who have bought from both is that they saved $$$ when they went private instead and the quality of the cars were the same.

i rang power rd a couple of months ago and i dunno they didn't sound "enthusiastic". i asked em if they had any 4 door R32s in stock and the guy was like "nah we don't".....thats it. and in the auto supermarket magazine their page was full of 4door R32s lol.

yep same here:

"hi saw the silver 32 advertised in blah.. is it manual or auto?"... "uhmmm.. I dunno.. I'll have to check"..

"ok well can you tell me anything about it?"... "uhmm its silver.. "

"ok well I'm looking for a blah in a manual with a blah blah blah, do you have anything I might be interested in?".. "uhm I dunno you'll have to come and have a look"..

Yes I'm going to trek all the way down to Dandenong to find they have nothing anywhere near what I want.

i got my car from power road, they dont seem intrested on the phone but in person go speak to them and the cars are really good, and they know everything about skylines.

On the phone they talk very un intrested , but they have heaps of good deals, go down there, get the car u like checked out, and take it for a spin, they were really good when i went down

wow, this is completely different to when i went down there, the guy was just an arogant pric to me n ma mates... but 4 young guys (only 1 that actually had a licence) asking for test drives is kinda suspicious lol, but yeh, he is genuinely looking for a skyline, we werent just doin a dog act on the owner

if your into series 2 autos... otherwise i think they had 1 or 2 manual ones for $21k...

seen some nice 33 series 2s for $16k... dunno what was up bacause the same ph no. is on 2, a black and white one...

Mine was 16,800 + ORC (3 year warranty was free) - but not power road carsales.

I heard some stories about them, but i suppose we hear something about everyone - thats why its important to check the car thoroughly.

i got a pretty good deal off them 10.5k including rego and stamp duty for my 33 gts25 so the car itself was only like 9.5k

went with my dad and he let us try out a lot of cars

that's the best thing about this guy just gives u the keys and u can go for a drive no fuss unlike some other dealers i went to.

well im only 21, and when i went alone he test drove it with me as a passenger, he didnt let me drive, but when my dad came with me t o test it, he let us go alone for the test drive.

but they let u call racv to check out the car as well, which is good and they included a few goodies in mine, so if u ask them they will :P

Yeah, be careful with them. They were fine during the sale stage, but when i found that the tmimng belt was incredibly loose and the tension arm worn about 2 weeks later, (my mechanic was asking how far i'd driven without it snapping) they tried to camouflague it as 'something we forgot to tighten'. Otherwise, the prices are fair - They even drove 20mins to pick me up from a train station!

SSV on princes HWY... not quite sure of the exact address, I pass it on the way to Caulfield monash... say inbetween Warrigal Rd and Burke Rd...

No experience except that I dropped in just to check out the cars (Big range of imports)

I went in my skyline, the guy knew I wasn't there to buy anything but he was happy to have a chat.

Probably Mark, a good guy - always happy to have a chat about the skylines. They have a lot of supras there too - looks like they are doing well :ermm:

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
